No rejection! Biopsy looked good, along with all the other numbers. So, aside from the little problem yesterday with the bleed and allergic reaction, this was a very successful visit.

Bill was very restless for most of the night but finally rested in the wee morning hours. He only had a little redness and itching this morning so gave him more Benadryl and Zantac. I think that it's totally gone now, or so he says. If it comes back I'm to call Stephanie in the morning and Dr. Yip will call in an oral steroid to help.

Dr. Yip feels really bad and has decided that he won't do any more heart caths. He will just do dopamine stress tests with echoes to check the pressures. He also said that any further biopsies would be in the neck as before, if he will even need them.

As it stands now, I need to schedule a colonoscopy when we get home. Then we will do labs in 3 months at home and a return visit in 6 months for an echo and clinic visit. I think we can handle a trip to Florida every 6 months!

So far the drive home has been uneventful. The traffic has been light and the weather very nice. Of course it's very hot but with the air conditioning we only notice it when we stop.

This will be the last post for this week. As my mother says, no news is good news. Take it on faith that we have an uneventful drive home tomorrow and rest up over the week-end. For all of the mothers reading this, including my own, Happy Mother's Day! Enjoy spending it with your families if possible, hopefully being spoiled!
